REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Senmiao Technology Limited

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Senmiao Technology Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Senmiao Technology Limited as of March 31, 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

SENMIAO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SENMIAO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (the “Company) as of March 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also include assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 have been restated to correct misstatements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTITIVIES

 

Senmiao Technology Limited (“Senmiao” or the “Company”) is a U.S. holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 8, 2017. The Company operates an online lending platform through its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Sichuan Senmiao Ronglian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Senmiao”) in China connecting Chinese investors with individual and small- to-medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) borrowers. Through its platform, the Company offers quick and easy access to credit to borrowers and creditors and attractive investment returns for investors. The Companys executive offices are located in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China.

 

On July 28, 2017, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Sichuan Senmiao Zecheng Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“WFOE,” or “Senmiao Consulting”) in China. The Company undertakes substantially all of its business activities in China through WFOE and VIE, Sichuan Senmiao.

 

Sichuan Senmiao was established in China in June 2014. On September 18, 2017, the Company entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Sichuan Senmiao and its equity holders (“Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders”)through WFOE to obtain control and became the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Senmiao (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, as partial consideration for Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders’commitment to perform their obligations under a series of contractual arrangements, the Company issued an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of its common stock to Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders pursuant to certain subscription agreements dated September 18, 2017.

 

On January 29, 2018, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a one-for-two reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock was reduced to 22,500,000 shares. The discussion and presentation of financial statements herein accounted for the Restructuring retroactively as if it occurred on April 1, 2015.

 

On September 25, 2016, Sichuan Senmiao acquired a peer-to-peer platform (including website, ICP license, operating systems, servers, and management system) from Sichuan Chenghexin Investment and Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Chenghexin”), who had established and operated the platform for two years prior to the acquisition by Sichuan Senmiao (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, Sichuan Senmiao was a holding company that owned a 60% equity interest in an equity investment fund management company. Sichuan Senmiao sold its 60% equity interest for a cash consideration of RMB 60,000,000 (US$8,914,833) immediately following the Acquisition, in order to focus on the online marketplace lending business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following diagram illustrates the Company’s corporate structure, including its subsidiary and consolidated variable interest entity as of the date of this financial statements: 

 

 

 

VIE Agreements with Sichuan Senmiao

 

According to a series of contractual arrangements (collectively “VIE Agreements”), Sichuan Senmiao is obligated to pay service fees to WFOE equal to the net income of Sichuan Senmiao. Sichuan Senmiao’s operations are, in fact, directly controlled by the Company entirely. There are no unrecognized revenue-producing assets that are held by Sichuan Senmiao.

 

Each of the VIE Agreements is described in detail below:

 

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement

 

WFOE, Sichuan Senmiao and Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders pledged all of their equity interest in Sichuan Senmiao to WFOE in order to guarantee the performance of Sichuan Senmiao’s obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement as described below.

Powers of Attorney

 

Each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has entered into a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) pursuant to which each of the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders has authorized WFOE to act on his or her behalf as the exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all rights of such individual as a shareholder, including but not limited to: (a) attending shareholders meetings; (b) exercising all the shareholder’s rights, including voting, that shareholders are entitled to under PRC law and the Articles of Association of Sichuan Senmiao, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the equity interests of Sichuan Senmiao owned by such shareholder; and (c) designating and appointing on behalf of the shareholders the legal representative, chairperson, director, supervisor, chief executive officer and other senior management members of Sichuan Senmiao. The Power of Attorney has the same term as the Exclusive Option Agreement.

 

Timely Report Agreement

 

The Company and Sichuan Senmiao entered into a timely report agreement pursuant to which Sichuan Senmiao agrees to make its officers and directors available to the Company and promptly provide all information required by the Company so that the Company can make necessary SEC and other regulatory reports in a timely fashion.

 

The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Senmiao and should consolidate its financial statements. The Company is the primary beneficiary based on the Power of Attorneys entered into as part of the VIE arrangements that each equity holder of Sichuan Senmiao assigned their rights as a shareholder of Sichuan Senmiao to the WFOE, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. These rights include, but are not limited to, attending shareholders’ meetings, voting on matters submitted for shareholder approval and appointing legal representatives, executive directors, supervisors and other senior management members. As such, the Company, through its WFOE, is deemed to hold all of the voting equity interest in Sichuan Senmiao. For the periods presented, the Company has not yet provided any financial or other support to Sichuan Senmiao. However, pursuant to Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, the Company may provide complete technical support, business support and related consulting services during the term of the VIE Agreements. Though not explicit in the VIE Agreements, the Company may provide financial support to Sichuan Senmiao to meet its working capital requirements and capitalization purposes. The terms of the VIE Agreements and the Company's plan to provide financial support to the VIE were considered in determining that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, the financial statements of the VIE are consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

Total assets and total liabilities of the VIE that were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

(b)Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries and VIE over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company records income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of consolidated subsidiaries.

 

(c)Foreign currency translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Companys operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the respective functional currency for each subsidiary as they are the primary currency of the economic environment in which each subsidiary operates.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign entity are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

   March 31, 2018  March 31, 2017

(d)Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: determinations of the useful lives of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets and goodwill, and determination of fair value of net identifiable assets in a business acquisition.

 

(e)Fair values of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other assets, escrow receivables, other liabilities and due to stockholders. The financial instruments were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities and non-interest bearing.

 

(f)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consists of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

(g)Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment primarily consists of computer equipment, which is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful life. The useful life of property and equipment are summarized as follows:

 

  Computer equipment     2 - 3 years  

 

The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, if any, exceeds its fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model. For the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no impairment of property and equipment.

 

Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated income statements.

 

(h)Intangible assets

 

On September 25, 2016, Sichuan Senmiao acquired a peer-to-peer platform(including website, ICP license, operating systems, servers, and management system, collectively “Platform”) and relevant employees and users of the Platform from Chenghexin, who had established and operated the Platform for two years prior to the Acquisition. Prior to the Acquisition, Sichuan Senmiao was a holding company that owned a 60% equity interest in an equity investment fund management company. Sichuan Senmiao sold its 60% equity interest for a cash consideration of RMB 60,000,000 (US$8,914,833) immediately following the Acquisition, in order to focus on the online marketplace lending business.

 

The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting which required the Company to perform an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

 

Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:

 

Platform 7 years
Customer relationship 10 years

 

Separately identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge against the Platform in the amount of $2,000,175 and nil, respectively.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(i)Business combination

 

The Company accounted for its business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill.

 

(j)Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity or business as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiary, VIE and business. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.

 

In performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for the purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge against goodwill in the amount of $6,179,206 and nil, respectively.

 

(k)Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted for outstanding shares of common stock that are subject to repurchase.

 

For the calculation of diluted loss per share, net loss attributable to ordinary stockholders for basic loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including share-based awards, under the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities, of which the amounts are insignificant, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

(l)Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service has been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company generates revenues primarily from service fees in matching investors with borrowers and for the other services provided over the life of a loan.

 

Borrowers and Creditor Partners — Transaction fees are paid by borrowers and credit partners to the Company for the work the Company performs through its platform. The amount of these fees is based upon the loan amount and other terms of the loan, including credit grade, maturity and other factors. The fees charged to borrowers and creditor partners are paid (i) upon disbursement of the proceeds for loans accruing interest on a monthly basis and (ii) upon full payment of principal and interest of loans accruing interest on a daily basis. These fees are non-refundable upon the issuance of loan.

 

Investors — The Company charges investors a service fee on their actual investment return. The Company generally receives the service fees upon the investors receiving their investment return. The Company recognizes the revenue when loan was repaid and investor received their investment income.

 

(m)Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of employee salaries and benefit, office rental expense, travel expenses, customer verification and credit assessment costs and platform maintenance cost.

(n)Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method as required by this accounting standard, the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

 

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income to be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forward. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company did not have significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2018 and 2017. As of March 31, 2018, the tax years ended December 31, 2013 through 2017 for the Company’s PRC entities remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.

 

(o)Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $253,761 and $1,107,762, respectively.

(p)Leases

 

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The Company had no capital leases for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

(q)Significant risks and uncertainties

 

1)Credit risk

 

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As March 31, 2018, approximately $11,000,000 was deposited with a bank in the United States which was insured by the government up to $250,000. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately $180,000 and $161,00, respectively, were primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China,  which were uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China which management believes are of high credit quality.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

 

2)Liquidity risk

 

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the stockholders to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity requirements.

 

3)Foreign currency risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, except for the cash deposit of approximately $11,000,000 which was in U.S. dollars at March 31, 2018, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected.

  

4)VIE risk

 

It is possible that the VIE Agreements among Sichuan Senmiao, WFOE, and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders would not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts were to find that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Company were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the VIE. Consequently, the VIEs results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Company's cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Company's contractual arrangements with Sichuan Senmiao, WFOE, and the Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders are approved and in place. Management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company's operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.

 

The Company's operations and businesses rely on the operations and businesses of its VIE, which holds certain recognized revenue-producing assets including the Platform, user relationship and goodwill. The VIE also has an assembled workforce, focused primarily on customer verification and credit assessment, whose costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's operations and businesses may be adversely impacted if the Company loses the ability to use and enjoy assets held by its VIE.

(r)Recently issued accounting standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods), which means it became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”), which reduces the complexity when applying the guidance for identifying performance obligations and improves the operability and understandability of the license implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), which makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments are intended to address implementation and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. These amendments have the same effective date as the new revenue standard. The Company planned to adopt Topic 606 in the first quarter of its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 using the retrospective transition method. The Company’s current revenue recognition policies are generally consistent with the new revenue recognition standards set forth in ASU 2014-09. Potential adjustments to input measures are not expected to be pervasive to the majority of the Company’s contracts. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will make further assessment at adoption based upon outstanding contracts at that time. In September 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company will adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The update requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It eliminated the requirement for public entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Amendments to the ASC 842 Leases. This update requires the lessee to recognize the assets and liability (the lease liability) arising from operating leases on the balance sheet for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Within twelve months or less lease term, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In transition, this update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the effect, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

In August 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned; (6) Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Management is evaluating the effect, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

3.RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company has noted the following errors in relation to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 that were included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 20, 2017, as amended. The errors related to the correction of adjustment of disposal loss arising from discontinued operations and accrual of unpaid employee benefit contributions.

 

1)Adjustment of disposal loss arising from discontinued operations

The accounting adjustment had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

2)Accrual of employee benefit contributions

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company did not make adequate employee benefit contributions in the amount of $34,437. The Company accrued the amount in accrued payroll and welfare.

On September 25, 2016, Sichuan Senmiao completed the acquisition of a peer-to-peer lending business in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The Company acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to substantially all of the assets associates with the lending business, including the lending platform (consisting of website, ICP license, operating systems, servers, and management system), all its employees, users and computer equipment. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the seller received an aggregate consideration of RMB 69,690,000 in cash (approximately $10.1 million). The cash consideration was fully funded by the paid-in capital of Sichuan Senmiao and was fully paid in March 2017.

 

The acquisition cost amounting to $6,163 was recorded in general and administrative expenses when it was incurred.

 

The acquisition had been accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations of the Platform have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The Company made estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, based on an independent preliminary valuation report and management’s experiences with similar assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values for major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, using the exchange rate of 6.6714 on that day.

The accounting literature establishes guidelines regarding the presentation of this unaudited pro forma information. Therefore, this unaudited pro forma information is not intended to represent, nor does the Company believe it is indicative of, the consolidated results of operations of Senmiao that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of April 1, 2016. Furthermore, this unaudited pro forma information does not give effect to the anticipated business and tax synergies of the acquisition and is not representative or indicative of the anticipated future consolidated results of operations of Senmiao.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the historical results of the peer-to-peer lending business, adjusted to reflect the acquisition had it been completed as of April 1, 2016. The most significant pro forma adjustments to the historical results of operations relate to the application of purchase accounting for the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes various assumptions, including those related to the finalization of the purchase price allocation.

5.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company sold its 60% equity interest in Zhongyi Yinfeng Investment Management Co., Ltd. (Zhongyi Yinfeng), to an unrelated third party, for a cash consideration of RMB 60,000,000 (equivalent of   $8.9 million). For disposal transactions that occur on or after April 1, 2015, a component of the Company is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held-for-sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the disposal of equity interest in Zhongyi Yinfeng and determined the criteria for held-for-sale classification have been met, and the transaction represents a strategic shift where the Company is exiting the private equity investment, which will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results going forward. As such, the financial results of Zhongyi Yinfeng are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and amounts previously reported have been reclassified, as necessary, to allow for meaningful comparison of continuing operations.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the date of completion of the disposal, the net asset of Zhongyi Yinfeng amounted to approximately $15.0 million and the non-controlling interest amounted to approximately $6.0 million. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $64,968 on the sale of Zhongyi Yinfeng, in which the Company held a 60% equity interest.

 

The transaction qualified to be presented as discontinued operations as it met the criterion of 1) the disposed subsidiary is a component of an entity; 2) the subsidiary was disposed of by sale, and 3) the disposal represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.

11.stockholders’ equity

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock. On September 18, 2017, the Company issued 45,000,000 shares of common stock to Sichuan Senmiao Shareholders.

 

On January 29, 2018, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a one-for-two reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As such, the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares became 22,500,000 share immediately following the reverse stock split. In connection with reverse stock split, all shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated as if it occurred on April 1, 2015.

 

On March 16, 2018, the Company closed its initial public offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. On March 28, 2018, the Company sold additional 379,400 shares of common stock from the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The public offering price of the shares sold in the initial public offering was $4.00 per share. The total gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $13.5 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company totaled approximately $12.2 million.

 

Warrants

 

The registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering also covered the underwriter’s common stock purchase warrants to purchase 337,940 shares of common stock. Each five-year warrant entitles warrant holder to purchase the Company’s common stock at the price of $4.80 per share and is not exercisable for a period of 180 days from March 16, 2018.

 

12.INCOME TAXES

 

The United States of America

 

The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the U.S., and is subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes. The State of Nevada does not impose any state corporate income tax.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a U.S. corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. As the Company has a March 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 31.5% for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company has to remeasure it deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforward in the U.S and concluded no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no deferred tax assets generated since inception.

 

Additionally, the Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOL carryforwards and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to March 31, 2018, as the Company has cumulative foreign losses as of March 31, 2018.

 

The Company's net operating loss for the year ended March 31, 2018 amounted to approximately $0.2 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s net operating loss carry forward for United States income taxes was approximately $0.2 million. The net operating loss carry forwards are available to reduce future years' taxable income through year 2037. Management believes that the realization of the benefit from this loss appears uncertain due to the Company's operating history. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the deferred tax assets to zero. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was approximately $0.04 million and nil, respectively. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly

Income taxes that are attributed to the continuing operations in the PRC are consist of:

 

   For the Years Ended March 31 
   2018   2017 
                  
Current income tax expense  $-   $- 
Deferred income tax benefit   -    - 
Deferred income tax benefit                 
   $-   $- 

 

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $1,512,341 and $527,498, which will expire in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, full valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.

 

The tax effects of temporary differences from continuing operations that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

   March 31,   March 31, 
   2018   2017 
         
Net operating loss carryforwards in the PRC  $378,085   $131,874 
Net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S.   43,021    - 
Less: valuation allowance   (421,117)   (131,874)
   $-   $- 

 

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements at end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and considering whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. When circumstances cause a change in management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in income from operations. The future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward period available under applicable tax law.
